Hi, see photo below. Re PTO levers, the early tractors had a short lever, later ones had a longer lever and some even had a plastic knob on the end of the lever. Re changing shaft, the lever assembly is held in place with the 3 bolts in item #3 and the whole assembly should come out but before removing mark the position of the handle to make it easier to install. Handle and shaft, Item #1 is held in place by a roll pin in item #4. The difficult part is re-installing the assembly as the pin in item #4 has to go in the groove in item #5, so if you are very lucky with your toes crossed, etc it may go in first time.
The cause of the broken PTO handle is probably the previous Operator not holding clutch pedal all the way to the foot rest while trying to engage the PTO or the clutch pedal is out of adjustment or the PTO clutch requires adjusting. The other thing that happens on a tractor that the PTO is not used frequently is the PTO clutch will rust/stick to flywheel and not release when clutch is depressed. If your PTO does not go into gear easily and you hear gear chatting DO NOT FORCE it or you will shear of the roll pin in item #4, quick solution is to shut off engine and engage PTO and restart engine while holding clutch pedal all the way to the foot rest. You must investigate the cause of PTO not engaging easily. I have help an owner that bought a used tractor like yours and sometime in it's past life the foot rest had got bent upwards not allowing full travel of the clutch pedal.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
